asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has received about Mid-Suffolk district council's sales of council houses since the enactment of the right-to-buy provisions.

Mid-Suffolk did not include this information in its latest quarterly statistical return for the last quarter of 1981. It has been asked to do so in future.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in view of the fact that some council tenants seeking to purchase their homes from Mid-Suffolk council have experienced delays of up to two years or more, he will call for a report on this authority's refusal to sell to certain tenants the whole of their gardens.

The Department has taken up this matter with the authority.
